Viewing hand-inscribed and printed pieces of art of this quality and historical magnitude was incredible. The illuminated works were particularly impressive.
This is THE comprehensive history of the Bible...piece by piece historical and well represented. Take your time, absorb it all...truly amazing and awe inspiring.
Passages is a traveling exhibit that has moved to Springfield, Missouri, and is no longer available in Colorado Springs.
This exhibition was not advertised enough. I only heard about it from a friend last week. My husband and I went yesterday, together with another couple. What an incredible undertaking! The size of it and the quality of the artifacts amazed all of us. The exhibit of countless Bibles through the ages from many different cultures and countries was mind boggling. We were truly impressed by the reproduction and demonstration of Gutenberg's printing press. The interactive displays, holograms, videos etc. were really well done, and we could easily have spent another 5 hours exploring. Thank you. God's Word lives on!
I very much enjoyed the exhibit with my adult son. We were advised by friends to give it at least 2 hours but I still felt that was not enough time. The collection is world class and covers thousands of years! The exhibit is very well done , interesting and keeps your focus. There are child friendly areas and benches to rest of here and there. Friendly staff , free lecture schedule and a gift shop round out the experience.
I am not a Christian, and I usually avoid places of this sort, but a brochure at my hotel promised me a life-size hologram of Abraham Lincoln, a room decorated as though you are on the moon, and an animatronic lion. It sounded too ridiculous to pass up, and I was not disappointed. It was definitely cheesy and leaned a bit Christian, but it actually wasn't too religious. It was more like a goofy museum than anything else. There wasn't really any proselytizing or evangelizing. There were, however, a whole bunch of creepy, life-size animatronic historical figures, all of the other things promised on the brochure, several bean bag games, and the opportunity to practice writing with a quill-pen in a dark cave. It definitely doesn't beat the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, but it was an entertaining rainy-day activity.
This place is amazing! Some say there are dinosaurs uh no there is not a single dinosaur! They have old scrolls dating back to over 3500 years ago! Please go to the place before reviewing please! Thank you. God bless.
I had a wonderful time here and after spending 5.5 hours, still did not see it all. I know its not for everyone, but those who have a negative attitude towards this event are missing something special in their minds and hearts. However, they have that right.
Our family, ages 7 on up visited yesterday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! We only spent about 3 hours, as it was close to closing time. I think my husband and I could have spent the whole day there. Our kids' favorites were the display of the Queen, the nazi Germany display of what remained, and the put your name in the computer and see it written in different languages. Also the ornate Bible covers, and really too many other things to list! Very informative and fun for the whole family.
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Passages. It was so much more than I expected. I spent 4 hours absorbed in all that it had to offer. If the Bible is important to you, this journey through many stages of it's creation and preservation is fascinating. I went with a group and we all thought it was wonderful and were disappointed that it had not been better publicized. I highly recommend it. I hope you don't procrastinate until it moves on.
